A wedding party got stuck in a lift on the way to the ceremony and had the best time ever

When you think about what could possibly go wrong on your wedding day, the chances are you've never really considered getting trapped in a lift with your WHOLE wedding party on the way to the ceremony.

But that's exactly what happened to Harry Stein and Liz Copeland from Alexandria, Virginia, who stepped into an elevator with a large group of their friends and family - including the wedding planner, photographer, parents of the bride and groom and a rabbi - and got stuck. You couldn't make this stuff up.

ABC reports that the couple's day was going great until the incident, but that the bride decided to make the best of a bad situation and pose for photos, have some fun and eventually track their mishap on social media using the hashtag #copestein. Amazing.

Groom Harry told ABC, "There wasn't really a crash or anything, it just stopped", but eventually the fire department came and rescued the group of 24 and returned them to the wedding party.

Speaking about getting stuck, the bride said: "Because of the delay, we were treated to a beautiful sunset ceremony." Lemonade, lemons etc etc.

Speaking about the debacle, one of the wedding guests shared a photo on Instagram along with the caption: "Congratulations Liz and Harry! Thank you for such an amazing day. We wish you a marriage filled with love and adventure!"
